Description
Pilgrims with Purpose
Elizabeth and David didn’t fully understanding their future with Christian missions to both Africa and Mexico. They didn't know the adventures, joys, trials, testing (and rewards) that awaited them in their missionary work. They were, however, united by a sincere and deep love for Jesus Christ, and loved each other and their new-found friends with deep seated devotion and Christ-like humility
This couple’s true missionary stories will inspire you, wherever you are at in life. If you wish to learn how to be an effective missionary, this biography will serve as a light to your path. The Tolmans lived by faith alone, a faith which prevailed in times of sickness, insufficient funds, death threats, and normal family rearing in unfamiliar cultures. This book documents numerous stories of faith when God spoke clearly to David and Elizabeth, delivering them from situations which would cause a natural man to stumble. This is an inspirational book for men and women whom need encouragement and faith in today’s adverse society.
Elizabeth Tolman was born in Aurora, a small town in Ontario, Canada, to parents with an active rural medical practice. She attended Aurora High School, University of Toronto and Toronto Teachers’ College. She met her husband, David, in high school. They married in 1953 and set out on their ministry pilgrimage in 1954. They have four children also in God’s ministry and a son living and working in the Middle East. The Tolmans now live in Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico, on a Bible School and Christian Primary and Secondary School property.
Their lifetime commitment resulted in an ongoing ministry known as Seedtime and Harvest Ministries Inc, now under the capable leadership of their son, Philip, who with his brother Stephen and the addition of third generation family members, are pastors, youth leaders, teachers, Christian musicians and every facet of ministry.
David and Elizabeth continue to minister in the Rios de Agua Viva Bible School, teaching in seminars and retreats, and providing family and ministerial counseling. Retirement is not yet a word they use, desiring instead to continue in the ministry until they are taken home.
Reviews:
"I've observed the life and ministry of the Tolman family up close for almost 20 years. Even after spending a lot of time with them, and having knowledge of many of their experiences, Pilgrims with Purpose grabbed me from the very first page, and I ended up reading it straight through cover to cover in one sitting. This book gives us a peek into the real world of "living by faith," and challenges every Christian to believe beyond thought. Fantastic read!"
